Not that it really matters, but it is kind of fun to keep the old
comparison/competition going. 

I ran into a lady sat. night that had just bought a 40D and was asking
me all kinds of questions. I kept saying things like, oh that's what VR
is for, and use matrix metering for that, and that setting is found on
the dial on the top left of the camera. Or course she looked at me like
I was from a distant planet (am I?) but it was fun. She kept saying I
have never heard of that setting. Later in the evening she came running
up and said I fixed the back light problem, and I said did you switch to
single point metering? She gave me that look and just walked away. 

I really need to learn to speak Canonese I guess. All this took place
at a family reunion and anything like talking to a fellow photog, even
if they are new, makes a family reunion more bearable!!!!

I am getting one of those chairs!!!!

Thanks for the tip

Lar

        While I was at the Miller SCCA race one of the drivers asked me
if I would show another photographer friend the ropes.  His name is
Michael Wells and takes some pretty fair photos.  He is interest in
coming to a Pack meeting if and when we have another one.  In the mean
time here is is web site.
